HTC One to stick around as affordable One Two variant?

Keeping former flagship models around at a more affordable price when they’re succeeded is an increasingly popular technique. At one point the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S combined were thought to be matching sales of the iPhone 5. Similarly, 2012’s Samsung Galaxy S3 is one of the best value-for-money handsets around at the moment.

As such, it comes as no surprise to hear that the beloved HTC One is tipped to stick around when the new thingy comes out.

That’s the story according to Phones Review, which in turn credits “a source close to a popular mobile phone retail chain”.

Incidentally, the source claims to have seen the HTC One Two (codename M8), and was supposedly “really impressed by its design and features”.
